Magang speaks on fixing the economy

Let me begin by calling upon all the economists present here to tender apologies to the nation. It is they who are supposed to be writing books of this nature and not lawyers and retired politicians like me. This is not fair folks. Not only am I a layman in economics but I am also in the autumn of my life.

Had you guys been writing books, I would have been spared all the strain.  As it was, I had to scour every local library and the national archives, every business-related report in the local newspapers, every relevant website. I had to get hold of every business magazine/scholarly articles and  order books from amazon.com. And it wasn’t the world I was writing about but my own country!  

In the western world, economists don’t simply teach, lecture, advise, or consult. They write books. When I checked out amazon.com, I came across numerous books by the likes of  Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz,  and Jeffrey Sachs. When I went to Exclusive Books and Books Botswana,  I was looking for books by the likes of  Professor Happy Siphambe, Dr Joel Sentsho,  Dr Happy Fidzani, etc. I didn’t find any.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
